Taking Inaction 0
In a longer piece about the implications of blackface and the recent revelations in Virginia, the Portland Press-Herald’s Greg Kesich makes a vital observation (emphasis added):
I agree wholeheartedly with him that inaction in the face of evil is culpability.
Elsewhere in the column, Kesich calls for Herring and Northam to resign. Given the realities of Virginia politics, I have deeply mixed feelings their resigning over something stupid, venal, and ignorant that they did 30 years ago. I also note that, as someone else has noted elsewhere I forget where, were they Republican politicians, some would protest, but, likely, most persons would just shrug a what-can-you-expect shrug and move on.
